No, this Bilstein B8 5160 shock absorber is specifically designed for Ram 2500 4WD models that have been lifted between 2 and 2.5 inches. It is not intended for stock height vehicles.

Does this shock absorber come with all the necessary hardware for installation?

About this part

Product Details

This is the Bilstein B8 5160 Series front shock absorber, specifically made for your 2014-2025 Ram 2500 4WD with a 2 to 2.5-inch lift. If you're looking to get more out of your lifted truck, especially when you take it off-road, this shock absorber is a solid option. It's designed to handle tougher conditions and provide a more controlled ride than stock shocks on a lifted vehicle.

What sets this shock apart is the remote reservoir. This extra tank holds more shock oil, which helps keep the shock cooler during hard use. That means more consistent performance and less fading, especially important when you're bouncing over rough terrain or towing. The monotube design also contributes to this consistent performance, reacting quickly to changes in the road or trail thanks to its self-adjusting valving. Bilstein tunes these shocks specifically for the Ram 2500 application, ensuring they work well with the lifted suspension.

Installation is made easier with a unique 360-degree swivel banjo hose fitting, and the billet reservoir mount, where applicable, gives a clean, low-profile look. This shock absorber is built to increase durability and help you tackle challenging off-road environments with more confidence.
